SkyTrak vs TruGolf – Technology
SkyTrak is a camera-based launch monitor that uses high-speed images taken directly after impact that measure ball speed, spin, and launch angles. From there SkyTrak uses proven algorithms to calculate the flight of the ball. Other than being very accurate, one of the pro’s of SkyTrak’s technology is that it is unaffected by weather conditions. Launch monitors that track the entire flight of the ball, for example, can have a difficult time reading ball data when there is wind affecting the flight. The con is that SkyTrak’s photometric provides limited club data. Club head speed is the only club head measurement SkyTrak provides.
TruGolf Technology
TruGolf has two different technologies – TruFlight2 and TruTrack2. TruTrack2 is an optical sensor based technology used in the Vista models. It contains 3 rows of optical sensors inside a golf mat that measure club face and club path through impact. This is then paired with TruGolf’s sonic triangulation technology which is essentially a set of microphones placed across the framework of the hitting screen.
These microphones monitor the audio when your ball hits the screen to calculate the launch and direction of your ball. TruFlight2, used in all other models, is a camera-based technology that uses 3 camera’s located above the hitting area to track your ball and club data. TruFlight2 eliminates the need for any hardware on the floor which provides golfers a nice and clean hitting area.
Both the TruFlight2 and TruTrack2 technology are able to accurately measure ball data and club head data which is a plus. The con is that some users say that TruGolf’s TruTrack2 hitting mat doesn’t always register extreme chunks. But let’s face it, we probably don’t want to see those shots anyway!
